I put it down for a year but once I re-started it, I finished it in very little time, comparatively speaking. I really like it - now I just need to see how the cotton washes up. If this signifies being on a roll, I have about a half-dozen projects that need to be finished; the Minimalist Cardigan, the Clinton Vest, some felted slippers, a sweater I started more than a decade ago for my husband (!) and the second sock of a pair of socks that is about 2/3 complete but I lost my will. My husband has big feet. Anyway, I'm liking Emmaline and can't wait to wear it.
